A few days later, the joint project between Shen's family, Lei's family and Fan's family officially started.It was published in the newspaper the next day, regardless of whether the villa area could make money after the completion of the villa, the cooperation of these few companies was enough to become the focus of the media.Even without Shen and Fan, the strength of the Lei family should not be underestimated. Even though it is not as good as before, it is still one of the iconic family businesses in N City.

After that, Shen Yicheng became even busier.In the past, at least there were class hours, and we could meet each other at school, but now it's just that Shenlong can't see the end, and I don't know what he is busy with.After all, in the final analysis, he is just a young master who has not graduated from university.

In November, when the cold snap hits, the temperature drops suddenly.The thicker windbreakers used to be wearable, but now everyone has put on cotton jackets, and even those who are afraid of the cold have already put on down jackets.

The day before the cold snap invaded, Gu Xu bought Xia Zichen a white down jacket. The clothes were light and thin, without the heavy feeling of ordinary winter clothes, but they were very warm on the body, and Xia Zichen liked it very much.

After class was over on Thursday, Xia Zichen, An Jing, and Tang Hui had lunch together, and were going to take the subway to work in the company.As soon as he walked out of the school gate, Gu Xu called.

"Have you had lunch yet?" Xia Zichen answered the phone and asked with a smile.

"Well, I ate. Where are you now?"

"Just getting ready to go to the company." Xia Zichen walked slowly along the walking path, "Do I want to bring you anything?"

Gu Xu occasionally asks Xia Zichen to buy some snacks. If there is nothing to do in the afternoon, Gu Xu will find an excuse to ask Xia Zichen to go upstairs, and the two of them will have afternoon tea together.

"No, I called you to tell you something." Gu Xu smiled and continued: "My parents' plane will arrive in N City tomorrow night, please come to my house for dinner on Saturday night."

"Ah?" Gu Xu suddenly said that his parents were coming back, Xia Zichen was completely unprepared.Originally, because of Gu Xu's parents' return, he had to notify them about a week in advance, but he didn't expect that it was only two days in advance.

"Are you scared?" Although across the phone, Gu Xu seemed to be able to see Xia Zichen's surprised face.

In fact, he was a little surprised when he received a call from his mother, and he always felt that he was in a hurry.But my mother said that after so long, if she didn't come back again, she was afraid that the Xia family would think they didn't take it seriously, so as soon as the matter over there was dealt with, she took the fastest flight back home.

"A little bit." After taking a deep breath, Xia Zichen tried his best to suppress the sudden tension, and said, "What do uncles and aunts like?" When meeting him for the first time, he always felt very impolite.

"They don't lack anything, so don't worry about it." My mother also said when she called, she just wanted to see Xia Zichen, and don't let Xia Zichen buy things.

"It's the first time you've seen my dad for shopping." Although Gu Xu also brought a lot of things to the house afterwards, the coffee pot was Xia Yuze's daily necessities, "I'm the one who goes to your house, I have the final say .”

Gu Xu laughed and didn't try to persuade her again, "Okay, you can figure it out."

"I'm going to ask for leave in the afternoon." Tomorrow he has too many classes and has no time to go shopping, so he can only skip half a day of work when he has time today.

"Go shopping?" Xia Zichen's movements were not difficult for Gu Xu to guess.

"Yeah." Xia Zichen didn't deny it either, and began to think about which shopping mall would be better to go to.

"I'll accompany you." He happened to have nothing to do this afternoon, and originally planned to call someone up when Xia Zichen arrived at the company, but now that he was going to ask for leave, he had no choice but to miss work for half a day to accompany him.Although he is not a very expressive person, he doesn't mind letting go of work for his lover.

"Are you sure you won't be called back by Senior Mo Xiang halfway?" He has a lesson from the past.

Once on a Friday afternoon, he didn't have to go to the company because he had a class. Gu Xu was bored at the company, so he went to school to accompany Xia Zichen in class.

Although Gu Xu has graduated, there are not a few people who know him. Accompanying Xia Zichen in class naturally attracts a lot of heads.Xia Zichen could only pretend that nothing had happened, and finished the class under the probing eyes of his classmates.The professor who taught them had also taught Gu Xu's class before, so he didn't chase them away, and even came over to chat between classes.

But after the first class, when Xia Zichen was about to change classrooms to go to the next class, Gu Xu's cell phone rang, and Mo Xiang hurriedly called him back to the company for a meeting.So much so that Gu Xu had to work overtime for an hour to make up for those hours of absenteeism. Xia Zichen went to the company to eat dinner with Gu Xu.

"It won't happen this time. At worst, I'll turn off the phone." Gu Xu said it lightly, apparently not paying attention to the fact that everyone was waiting for him to drive back to the company from school for a meeting that day.

"Well, if you are called back today, your reputation with me will be ruined." Gu Xu also said that he came here last time when he had nothing to do, but he still couldn't find anyone for urgent matters.

"It's okay, I can apply for an overdraft, and there is always a way for you to approve it." Gu Xu smiled ambiguously, and continued: "I will drive to the school to pick you up."

"No, I'm almost at the subway station. Take the subway to the city center. You can drive there directly. We'll meet at the entrance of the mall." Xia Zichen didn't want Gu Xu to make two trips. He wouldn't be cold by the subway, so there was no need to pick him up.

Gu Xu thought for a while and nodded.Afterwards, the two made a decision on the shopping mall they were going to visit, and hung up the phone.

When Xia Zichen arrived at the door of the shopping mall that he had agreed to, Gu Xu was already waiting for him at the door.

"Is it cold?" Looking at Xia Zichen's cold reddish ears, Gu Xu handed over the hot mocha in his hand and lightly touched his ear.

"It's okay." Xia Zichen smiled, and took the hot coffee from Gu Xu's hand.Having been together for a long time, Gu Xu also knows his habits, drinking hot coffee or hot cocoa when it is cold is a pleasure for Xia Zichen.

"Take a break or just go shopping?" Gu Xu unzipped Xia Zichen's coat by half, and also unzipped the scarf a little, fearing that he would catch a cold if he stayed in the mall too hot.

"Let's go shopping, don't get tired." In fact, Xia Zichen and Gu Xu are not people who like to go shopping. Unless it is necessary, the two would rather stay at home and play games than go to the mall for a stroll.

"Okay." Gu Xu held Xia Zichen's hand naturally, not caring about other people's eyes at all, each of them had a cup of coffee, and the two began to stroll casually.

The shopping mall the two chose is considered high-end in N City, and it also has world-renowned luxury goods.Gu Xu agreed to come here not to let Xia Zichen buy expensive things, but there are quite a variety of brands here, and the prices of some brands are also within the range of Xia Zichen's internship salary.

When it comes to the internship salary, because the company only has Xia Zichen as an intern, there is no reference to the salary. With a swipe of the pen, Gu Xu gave him a salary that he thought was reasonable—definitely higher than the salary of an intern in an ordinary company, but not too high. For other technical employees of the company.

Originally, Xia Zichen didn't want it. After all, he did learn a lot of useful things during his internship.But in the end, the one who was coaxed and deceived by Gu Xulian accepted it, which also made Xia Zichen's hand a lot more convenient, and Xia Yuze didn't need to give him pocket money anymore.

After shopping for more than half an hour, Xia Zichen took a fancy to two cashmere scarves. They were moderate in style and kept warm. They were indeed good choices for gifts.

"How about this?" Xia Zichen asked.

Gu Xu nodded, "That's right. It's something my parents would like. It's very practical." Although his family's financial conditions are good, his parents are not those who pursue luxury. practicality.

"Yeah." Xia Zichen looked at the price, and it was within acceptable range, "Then buy this."

The two discussed it, and finally chose a black and gray pair for Gu's father, and a white pair with light orange dark patterns for Gu's mother. These two colors are versatile and you can't go wrong.

Let the clerk wrap it up, Xia Zichen took the card to pay, Gu Xu didn't argue with him, after all, it was Xia Zichen's wish, anyway, next month will be the end of the year, and then just use the year-end bonus as an excuse to replenish Xia Zichen.Of course, only he knows this idea, and he won't tell anyone.

When he was about to leave, Gu Xu paused for a moment, then took another checkered cashmere scarf woven in black, white, and gray and handed it to the clerk, "Wrap this up too." He took out his card to pay.

"You like it?" Xia Zichen looked at Gu Xu puzzled.

"No, it's for your father." Gu Xu smiled and signed the bill, "They are both elders, and both parties should take care of them. Besides, your father lives alone now, so he needs to be more concerned."

"Thank you." Xia Zichen raised the corners of his mouth and thanked Gu Xu earnestly.Gu Xu can always help him think of some problems that he has neglected and solve them.

"You're welcome." Carrying the scarf, Gu Xu held Xia Zichen's hand, and the two walked out of the shop together.

Holding hands has unknowingly become the habit of the two of them, except in the company, they do not shy away from holding hands in other public places.They are lovers, and homosexuality is not illegal, as long as the two are happy.As for other people's gazes, after being with Gu Xu for a long time, Xia Zichen also learned to ignore them.

Not a few steps out of the shop, Xia Zichen was just looking at it aimlessly, when he suddenly saw two people from the corner of his eyes, which made him not only startled.

Not far from them, Fan Jiayue was walking out of a luxury brand store with a man on his arm.The man looked 27 or [-] years old. He looked good and dressed decently, but he didn't have much temperament.He raised his chin and looked arrogant, as if he didn't pay attention to anything.

Pride is something that differs from person to person. Some people feel that they do have such capital. The coexistence of pride and self-cultivation is also an attractive charm.But the pride of some people is the arrogance of no one, and even some people are ridiculous and nondescript.The man next to Fan Jiayue obviously belonged to the latter group, and Xia Zichen felt that there was an upstart aura surrounding that man.

Fan Jiayue seemed to like that man very much, she kept holding his arm and leaning against him, feeling like she wanted to cling to him, and she kept talking with a smile on her lips.But the man's reaction was very flat, and he didn't even open his mouth to answer.

Seeing this scene, Xia Zichen suddenly remembered that An Jing had told him that there seemed to be some unpleasant things between Shen Yicheng and Fan Jiayue.Looking at it now, Fan Jiayue most likely cheated on Shen Yicheng to get a cuckold.

Xia Zichen was stunned, Gu Xu naturally noticed it, followed his gaze, and saw two people in the distance.

"What?" Gu Xu tightened his grip on Xia Zichen's hand. He realized that he had been with Xia Zichen for a long time, and whenever Xia Zichen looked at anyone more, he would uncontrollably vomit sour water, very jealous.But after thinking about it, I felt a little funny.

"It's nothing, it's just a little unexpected." Xia Zichen shook his head.I just heard An Jing say it skeptically before, but I was still surprised to see it with my own eyes today.

"If you want to play tricks, girls don't necessarily lose to men. Their innate conditions can pretend to be very tender, and men are visual animals, so they are easy to bait." Gu Xu said while leading Xia Zichen forward Let's go, "The Fan family and the Lei family have always cooperated, but for more than a year, they have earned less and lost more. The Shen family was dragged in by the Fan family this time. Now that the Fan family's goal has been achieved, the daughter of the Fan family I guess there is no need to be tied to Shen Yicheng anymore."

"What do you mean?" Xia Zichen frowned slightly, "You mean that Fan Jiayue was with Shen Yicheng only to get Shen Jia to participate in this cooperation?"

"Nine times out of ten this is the case. Even if it was a coincidence that they met in the game, it is obvious that there was a plan for them to reach an agreement so quickly after meeting and get engaged. Besides, what a coincidence, Concubine Lian happened to be in the game Encountered Ruthless Blood?" Gu Xu stated his point of view lightly.

"Didn't we also meet in the game?" Xia Zichen smiled and gave him a sideways look.

"We are fate." Gu Xu said without the slightest embarrassment, "We didn't know who we were when we met, but Lian Feier came to play games much later than you, did you come after checking? It's hard to say."

Xia Zichen made a "cut".In fact, no matter how Fan Jiayue and Shen Yicheng met, it was not important to Xia Zichen, nor was it his business.

"The man next to him is surnamed Chang. He is the illegitimate son of the Chang family. He has been raised outside before and was brought back last year. Because the head of the Chang family has never been able to give birth to a son, and one of his daughters has eloped with others, so this illegitimate son is taken away." Take it back and raise it. I guess I want to cultivate it to inherit the family business." Gu Xu said: "Although this surname Chang is very obedient at home, he plays very aggressive outside, and his private life is also very chaotic."

Xia Zichen frowned, and thought: No wonder his face looks weak.

"Fan Jiayue approached him, and Shen Yicheng was not wronged. The Chang family is more powerful than the Shen family. It is beneficial to the Fan family to bring in the Chang family to invest. Anyway, the Shen family has already entered the game, so it is impossible to withdraw at this time , so Fan Jiayue has nothing to worry about."

Xia Zichen sighed slightly, "The business district is really messed up."

"Let me tell you, just listen to it as a joke, don't worry about it." Although he is not involved in Gu's family affairs now, he still knows about some business contacts and things in the circle, and he just listens to it. .

"Yeah." Xia Zichen didn't plan to continue this topic anymore, "Let's go, let's go shopping."

After the two of them had finished shopping, Gu Xu looked at his watch.It was still early, and he didn't plan to go back to the company. He planned to wait until Xia Zichen was hungry, and the two of them would go out and finish their dinner before going home.

Walking to the door of a famous watch store, Gu Xu took the empty paper coffee cup in Xia Zichen's hand, and said with a smile, "Go in and have a look first, I'll throw this away." He pointed to the trash can not far in front of him.

"Yes." Xia Zichen took the bag from Gu Xu's hand and entered the shop.Xia Zichen seldom wears a watch, but this does not affect his love for some uniquely designed watches, so he usually goes shopping when he goes shopping.However, facing the price on the price tag, Xia Zichen was still respectful and insensitive.

"Hello, welcome." As soon as Xia Zichen entered the door, the clerk greeted him enthusiastically.

Xia Zichen nodded slightly, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Fan Jiayue and the man surnamed Chang who were looking at his watch in the shop.At this time, the man is holding a watch and trying it on.Fan Jiayue stood next to him, as if for reference. When she heard the clerk's greeting, Fan Jiayue turned her face slightly, and when she saw Xia Zichen walking through the door from the corner of her eye, her expression froze for two seconds, and then quickly returned to normal, revealing a smile. He sneered disdainfully, as if he was not worried at all that Xia Zichen would tell Shen Yicheng about her shopping with other men.

From this point of view, either Shen Yicheng had no remaining value to Fan Jiayue, or Shen Yicheng already knew about it, so she had nothing to fear.Thinking of this, Xia Zichen didn't pay any attention to Fan Jiayue anymore. After all, he knew Fan Jiayue because she was Shen Yicheng's girlfriend. Now that it didn't matter anymore, she was just a stranger at most.

Under the guidance of the clerk, Xia Zichen slowly looked at the new batch of watches launched in the store, each of them was unique and very beautiful.But after looking at a few dollars, Fan Jiayue on the other side said coolly: "Nobody dares to enter this store now. Poor is poor. Don't think that if you enter a wealthy family, your status is noble. Myself What kind of identity still needs to be self-aware, not everyone is qualified to enter, do you really think that you have turned from a sparrow to a phoenix?"

There were still a few customers in the store. After hearing Fan Jiayue's words, they all turned to look at her and frowned at the same time.Those who can spend in this store are usually of some value, and when these people of value hear such words in the store, they will only feel that Fan Jiayue is very rude, and it will also spoil their interest in choosing watches.

Xia Zichen raised his head, and saw Fan Jiayue's sarcasm in the mirror facing him.Xia Zichen didn't really care about her words, even though he was with Gu Xu, he never felt that he was superior to others.But the man next to Fan Jiayue's face was very dark at this time, and his eyes clearly showed anger and hatred after being humiliated.Compared with Xia Zichen, he was more in line with the kind of person Fan Jiayue said just now.And Fan Jiayue just stared at Xia Zichen, but didn't notice.

Xia Zichen frowned slightly, ignored Fan Jiayue, and continued to look at his watch.At this time, Gu Xu, who had finished throwing the paper cups, also walked in.

"Young Master Gu, welcome." Seeing Gu Xu, the store manager greeted him personally.

Gu Xu nodded slightly, walked towards Xia Zichen, and said to the store manager: "Take out the things, and clean up the place by the way."

"Okay, Young Master Gu." The store manager nodded, ordered the staff, and then walked into the back room.

Xia Zichen looked at him puzzled, Gu Xu smiled, took the bag in his hand and put it aside, then pulled away the chair in the VIP area for Xia Zichen to sit.Then sat down next to him.

After what Fan Jiayue said just now, the original guests left in disappointment, after all, no one wants to stay in the same space with an uneducated person.

The clerk also put away the watch that they had tried on, and politely asked the two to leave.Compared with a big customer like Gu Xu, the store doesn't mind dismissing a few customers.

After Fan Jiayue finished speaking, the man's expression remained ugly. While the clerk was politely apologizing, the man got up and strode out of the store, completely ignoring Fan Jiayue on the side.At this time, Fan Jiayue realized that her behavior of stealing chickens was not enough to lose money, her expression changed, and she hurriedly chased him out.

The clerk closed the door and put up a closed sign.

After a while, the store manager came out, put a rectangular box on the table in front of the two, and smiled, "Don't bother you two."

Gu Xu said thank you and handed over the card.

The store manager took the card and walked away, and the clerks also went to the back room to take a break in a sensible manner.

"What is it?" Xia Zichen looked at Gu Xu suspiciously.

Gu Xu smiled and opened the box.There are two dazzling men's watches side by side in the box. The styles of the two watches are the same, but there is a slight difference. Twenty dazzling diamonds are inlaid in the positions of the twelve numbers, which are very conspicuous.Every time the pointer moves, it reflects the bright lights in the store, which makes people's hearts flutter.

Gu Xu took out the piece close to Xia Zichen, held his left wrist, and helped him put it on. The slightly cool feeling was in contrast to Gu Xu's warm palm, and it seemed that the coldness had also become very warm.

"I know you like watches very much, and I've always wanted to give you a gift, but I couldn't find the right one. These two watches were custom-made by me, and they were just delivered yesterday. I originally wanted to bring you here on Saturday, but today happened to be here, so I just Come and pick it up together." Gu Xu fastened the watch strap, looked it over, and was very satisfied.

"Thank you." Xia Zichen was surprised and didn't know what to say. This watch was the most exquisite men's watch he had ever seen. There was a kind of elegance in the fashion, and the details were made with care, which made him very happy. I was a little moved outside.

Gu Xu leaned over, kissed him on the lips, and said in a low voice: "You are still too young, it is too early to get married. It is not convenient for you to wear a ring as a gift, so after much deliberation, it is best to give a watch. After all, I It was love at first sight for you too."

Xia Zichen pursed his lips and held Gu Xu's hand.

Gu Xu pressed his forehead against Xia Zichen's, clasped his fingers together with Xia Zichen's, and said seriously: "Chenchen, we're engaged, okay?"

Xia Zichen's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Gu Xu who was so close in disbelief.

"I want to settle down with you, forever." Gu Xu clasped Xia Zichen's hand and tightened it.

The smile on the corner of Xia Zichen's mouth deepened, he nodded, and said softly, "Okay."

Gu Xu raised the corners of his mouth, and kissed Xia Zichen—love with Zi, love with "Zi".

This kind of touch cannot be summed up in a sentence of happiness, nor can it be expressed in a kiss.This kind of love exists in the heart, and under the sincere cherishment of each other, it will never be extinguished.

Love, it doesn't need to be complicated, the best commitment to maintain it is to have a heart...
